Hello,

I'm Kristin. I'm an aspiring author and book lover. I'm currently working on my first book. I'm also a wife, mother and have a full time job, so I'm trying to find a balance that allows me time to write as much as I want. Also, trying to navigate this world and figure out the right path for my book.

[Karen]

Hi to all of you! I am Karen and all I do is read! I like anything supernatural.
I am wanting to become a betareader to put my talents to use. I happen to be one of those readers who get frustrated when I find mistakes or the story just doesn't progress fast enough. My husband teases me about reading my life away, but he keeps buying me books for presents! I am also interested in yoga, knitting, traveling and teaching my grandsons new things.
I would love to learn about beta reading/proof reading and offer my time to anyone needing it.

Hi Alex,
I'm not sure there are any requirements for this group other than being interested in reading books. I am actually an author and looking for an independent bookstore that would like to have my book. It is published by a Canadian publisher and is available in print and ebook. I have tried locally and have only had one book signing 3 years ago.

Where are you located?

[Bradford]

Hello,
I’m Bradford G. Wheler or just Brad but I find if you don’t use the exact name Goodreads often can’t find you.

My 9th book MONGOLIA AND THE GOLDEN EAGLE An Archaeological Mystery Thriller publishes on 2/1/16.

In addition to my novels I’ve published a series of themed art quotation books. The latest is LOVE SAYINGS wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, & marriage. It feature artwork by 48 artists from 14 countries.

For bloggers and reviews I’m happy to provide free ebooks, do Q&A, interviews or set up special book giveaways (in addition to the giveaway currently on Goodreads) for these two books. Contact me at my personal email bgwheler@gmail.com

Here is a little more info on these two books.

Thank you, Brad

MONGOLIA AND THE GOLDEN EAGLE An Archaeological Mystery Thriller

Why is Cornell archaeology professor Robert Johnson, a pre-Columbian scholar, selected to head up a multimillion-dollar project in Mongolia? Why is this so important to high-tech billionaire Walter Falone? Why is he using consultants from Israel Aerospace Industries for his government contract in Mongolia?

For Johnson and his colleague, brilliant and beautiful assistant professor Abbey Summers, it becomes the adventure of a lifetime in MONGOLIA AND THE GOLDEN EAGLE, a new mystery thriller from author Bradford G. Wheler.

Cyber security threats, high-tech spying, and Chinese agents mix in this ingenious and thrilling plot of full of twists and turns. Somewhere in spectacular snowcapped Altai Mountains of western Mongolia there is a mysterious object that people are willing to kill for.

Readers will meet fascinating characters they’ll never forget: a high-tech billionaire, a quick-witted professor, his beautiful young assistant, a former sumo wrestler, a full-blooded Navajo Indian, and the people of Mongolia.

This assiduously researched, fast-paced novel brings archaeology and cyber espionage to life against the backdrop of the wild and rugged landscape of Mongolia, the land of Genghis Khan.

Along with riveting action, MONGOLIA AND THE GOLDEN EAGLE contains 27 illustrations and photos. Wheler draws on his own expertise in engineering, technology, and business to help readers feel that they are living the adventure.

LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage.

This art-themed quotation book covers topics including Love Through the Ages, Women, Men, Dating, Sex, Children, and more. This collaborative publication has two goals in mind: first, to honor and highlight the power and humor of love through text and artwork, and second, to showcase the talents of new and emerging artists.

[Sara]

Hey guys,

I'm Sara, I am interested in beta reading for YA books, I am great with historical fiction, contemporary literature, and an willing to give other genres a try. My background in this field includes working as a page in a library, spending time journaling and editing college papers, working with students, writing poetry, and working on my novel. If you want to know more about me, I know my reviews don't really tell you about my editing style, but I a variety of books.

Here are a few, The One by Kiera Class, Second Chance summer by Morgan Matson, Isla and the happily ever after by Stephenie Perkins, Nowhere but here by Katie McGarry, The Distance between Lost and Found by Kathryn Holmes Sign of the Four by Arthur Conan Doyle and How to think like Sherlock Holmes by Maria Kinnikova, and the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I don't mind memoirs or non-fiction, but as you can see I read a lot of young adult teen fiction targeted for females audiences.

My reading list for the future is Wuthering Heights, To all the Boys I've Loved Before and Brutal Youth.

I will be posting reviews a bit more in the future for those who want to experience my writing style! I can be contacted at s.cheesewright90909@gmail.com for anyone who has inquires for beta readers.

Happy Reading,
Sara

[Sonnet]

Hi everyone, I'm hoping this group is still active!

I'm Sonnet, yes it is my real name, and I'm a fiction editor. I have written a couple of children's manuscripts but they are collecting dust in a drawer, so to speak. I'd love to talk to other children's authors about the publishing process.

I'm also glad to answer any questions or offer any help I can when it comes to editing. I've been doing this for five years now, I work mainly with indie authors but some of my clients have broken into traditional publishing. I work only with fiction, but the manuscripts I've collaborated on have ranged from first drafts to best sellers. If you're anxious about taking the next step to editing, or have questions about the process, just let me know! I've met very few other authors I didn't like, and I'm glad to help.

[Karen]

hello! i am a avid reader of anything paranormal. I have been introduced to romance by several of the authors i have been reading arcs for. Not my true love ,but i am able to give my opinion. I have been beta reading lately. I am always looking to beta read for anyone needing a hand. My husband wishes my reading would create a paycheck,since i devote most of my time towards it! Aahhh! If only i could stop procrastinating and finish my own book!
Anyway,i have 3 grown children,2 grandsons ,1 cat and my cavalier, Gracie.
I have been married to my hubby for almost 30 yrs.
I am disabled ,so i sit at home alot! My grandsons keep me busy on days i watch them. I like to knit,scrapbook, and reorganize my house.
I am still learning some thi gs about the internet world and how some of these book things work. So if i do something wrong,tell me (and maybe how to fix it!) I will be open to any help i can get.

The name's Quita (kwee-tuh). I'm an independent book editor who runs a company that works on manuscripts for indie writers. And I love it! It is always exciting when someone trusts me to take care of their work. (And I do take great care.)

Hi y’all – I’m preparing to release my eighth novel with my son James Morcan. Our seven co-authored novels include The Ninth Orphan, Into the Americas and White Spirit.

In return for an endorsement in the Acknowledgements section at the front of our next book SILENT FEAR (A novel inspired by true crimes) we seek Beta Readers to provide feedback for this superior multi-genre crime, thriller, mystery, horror, romance (with shades of sci-fi).

We are also screenwriters and filmmakers and have put SILENT FEAR into early development as a feature film through our production company Morcan Motion Pictures.

Likely release date for this 750-page novel is August 17.

For full details of what we require and what we are offering, see my new entry in this group’s Beta Reader Talk discussion thread.

Thanks!
